Add powdered frankincense and myrrh, along with the copper filings (ground extremely fine), and mix thoroughly. Take a strand of hair from the crown of the patient’s head, burn it to ash, and mix 2 fen 5 li of this ash with the prepared powder. Mix with good wine to form a single dose; if the patient vomits, administer another dose. Discontinue use once the pain subsides.
